The version 0.3.1 of the Linux framebuffer patch to povray-3.6.1 for Unix
is available for download here:

http://pov4grasp.free.fr/download/povray-3.6.1-fb-0.3.1.tar.bz2

	This is a bugfix release, no new feature is added.  The following lists
the changes from version 0.3.0 to 0.3.1:

- fix color mismatch with 16 bpp directcolor visual (untested)
- fix dithering problems with alpha transparency
- fix incorrect display of transparent background without +ua
- fix screen coordinates to always deal with virtual resolution


	Installation instructions:

	To apply the patch, untar the archive and copy all the files from the
newly created povray-3.6.1-fb-0.3.1/ directory to the corresponding locations
in the source distribution of povray-3.6.1.  Then run the ./configure script
as usual, and 'make check' to build and run a test render.  The tarball contains
only the new and modified files, as compared to the official povray-3.6.1 for
Unix source archive.

(From version 0.3.0 to 0.3.1 only the unix/fbb.cpp file was actually changed.
Thus it should be safe to copy that file alone if you already applied the
previous version of this patch to the povray-3.6.1 sources.)
